Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the beans with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside for 1 hour. Drain the beans.

In the same saucepan (wiped dry), cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it has rendered most of its fat. Add the drained beans, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Add water to cover by 2 inches and bring to a boil. Partially cover and cook at a low boil until the beans are tender, or 40 minutes to 1 hour.

Reserving the cooking liquid, drain the beans and transfer to a food processor. Add the tomatoes and jalapeno, and process to a smooth puree. Use some of the cooking liquid, if necessary, to get the dip to the right consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Stir in the onion and transfer to a serving bowl.
